Reposturgeon from the Black Lagoon!

reposurgeon 1.8 is out, and with this release it has all the conversion features I’ve been able to think up while doing the last couple of conversions. This version creates real tags from the lightweight tags generated by git-svn, and also consolidates matched D/A pairs from Subversion into renames.

An “edit multiline” variant of the “edit” command zeroes in on commit comments that need to be tweaked into the approved form for hg and git (summary line, plus optional blank line, plus optional details).

The selection-set syntax has a new element: =H selects tip (or H for head) commits.

A new ‘sort’ command can make the DAG after a graft or merge display better in tools such as gitk.

With this release, I think I’m done for a while – barring bug reports, of course. I’m shipped a new version of my DVCS Migration Guide to go with it.

Fear the reposturgeon!
